A lot of the things that come to Alaska, come by ship. That's where TOTE, Totem Ocean Trailer Express, Inc. comes in. Their large ships bring thousands of trailers full of the stuff we use everyday.

Today the employee's of TOTE donated their time to help us out. They filled 16 large garbage bags full of weeds from around the flowers and bushes at the Bird TLC property. Today they gave back to their community, and we appreciate them.

To celebrate, we released a boreal owl and a merlin during breaks. Both came to Bird TLC earlier this year with injuries that they have now recovered from.

After a hard days work of weeding, shoveling and raking, they still had a big smile on their faces.
